I THINK I'M GOING TO PEE MY PANTS!

  This past summer while in Manchester, England, Jeff and I took a wee stroll down to Granada Studios (where they film Coronation Street), to hang out with some of the groupies at the gates to see if we could catch a glimpse of any actors. We’d already met Charlie Condou (who plays Marcus Dent), on Canal Street in the city the day before. Well, at the gates to the studio we met and spoke with a few more actors including Mickey North (who plays Gary Windass), Kate Ford (Tracy Barlow), and Steve Arnold (Ashley Peacock). When we met Steve, he’d already officially left the show, but was visiting the cast that day. As he was leaving the studio in his car, he stopped and spoke with me through the open window. Once he learned we were Canadian, he mentioned he was coming here this year. While he knew Toronto would be on his tour, I never imagined that he’d be coming to Showplace Peterborough!
  I phoned their ticket office this morning, and on March 11, Jeff and I will be sitting in the VIP section, in seats A14-A15. That’s FRONT ROW CENTER! After the show we’ll be attending the “Meet & Greet” in the lounge at Showplace where we will meet the actors, and I can take an enlargement of the picture I took of Steve (below) for him to autograph for us!
  All of the actors at the Showplace performance have retired from Coronation Street, but it’s Steve Arnold and Julia Haworth (who played his wife Claire Peacock), that I’m most excited to see!

  Here are some pictures from the Coronation Street aspect of our trip to Manchester this past summer!

I am a Class 1 Licensed Funeral Director, graphic and stained-glass artist & photographer (not to mention an all-around super duper fella), who loves far too many things to mention here. Oh... I'm very opinionated on some issues, but that doesn't mean I'm close-minded. Read the blog... you'll see.
